Life Science

Grades 3-6; 26 activities – 122 pages; Students play detectives digging up weeds and identifying root systems; studying tree rings to learn a tree’s history; and placing celery in colored water to see if it moves up the stem. Activities engage students in learning about parts and functions of plants.

Grades 3-7; 24 activities—181 pages; Take a video field trip to a cotton farm! This extensive study about cotton brings into real-world application science, math, geography, economics, art, and history. Accompanying activities include exploring cotton plants and taking a clothing material survey.

Grades K-6; 8 sections – 178 pages: Eight “environmental expeditions” take students into rivers, lakes, ponds, marshes, valleys, prairies, deserts, mountains, oceans and polar lands. A science buddy puppet guides younger students while older children create skits for the “World Ecology Summit.”

Grades 3-6; 26 activities—179 pages; Students need to look no further than their school grounds to discover diverse habitats. Using observation and deductive skills, young field detectives will spot evidence of animal and plant life all around campus through a variety of engaging explorations.

Grades 5-9; 27 activities — 288 pages; Students are engaged in a meaningful study of their bodies as they make or act out models of their body systems. A plastic bottle and balloons illustrate how lungs expand and collapse while crepe paper is used to show the length of the large and small intestines.

Grades 6-9; 26 activities – 158 pages; Take students on a tour of the worlds of protozoa and plant and animal cells! They’ll be surprised as they find bristles on earthworms or a mouth on a sea star. Besides life science content, students learn to use microscopes, keep notes and draw observations.
